We've heard a dozen times that we've turned the corner on the European debt crisis. Can we believe it this time? Has the European Central Bank made all the right moves to avoid a major credit crunch? Will Portugal or Ireland need to undergo a Greek-style debt restructuring? In the meantime, the impact of austerity is becoming clear as several European economies slip into recession. Which European nations and sectors are best positioned to ride things out? Will high unemployment lead to more social and political unrest across the continent? Just how deep will the downturn be, and how will it affect the recovery under way in the rest of the world? This panel of experts will examine the latest developments, how recent events have weakened the ties that bind the euro zone, and how European policymakers can address the fundamentals to restore growth.
